Zhao Yun cried: "The child is reckless and makes the queen mother angry. The child is unfilial."
After saying that, Zhao Yun knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. His heartbroken and regretful look was really heartbreaking for those who saw him.
Jia Chong tried his best to persuade Zhao Yun for a while, but failed to stop him. Zhao Yun was still crying, so Jia Chong had to go in and report to Empress Dowager Yang.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yang knew that it was Zhao Yun who had come to admit her mistakes and apologize, and of course the anger in her heart dissipated a lot. Then she ordered Jia Chong to summon Zhao Yun.
"Mother, the child has made a mistake. The child is ignorant and has made the mother angry. I beg the queen to punish me."
Zhao Yun had tears on his face, and his voice was full of misery and pity, which made Queen Mother Yang a little moved.
Empress Dowager Yang stepped forward, stroked Zhao Yun's face, and said, "If Yun'er doesn't cry, there will be no obstacles that we, mother and son, cannot overcome."
The deep love between mother and son between Zhao Yun and Empress Dowager Yang is touching. If word spreads about it in the future, it will definitely be regarded as a good story by the world.
After finally sending Zhao Yun off, Queen Mother Yang's eyes became sharp and cold again, and there was no trace of the distress and compassion she had just now.
"Jia Chong, keep an eye on him."
"yes."
After a trip to the Cining Palace, the relationship between Zhao Yun and Queen Mother Yang was temporarily eased, but Zhao Yun knew that all this was just an appearance.
When you don't have any power, you have to be 100% obedient and be their puppet. If you don't pay attention, they will kill you.
Ten years, if he had been living in this situation for ten years, Zhao Yun believed that he would go crazy.
Zhao Yun was determined to get rid of this situation as soon as possible.
After leaving Cining Hall, Zhao Yun directly ordered Xiao Huangmen to call Xia Gui.
From a distance, when Zhao Yun saw Xia Gui walking towards him, his eyes unconsciously avoided him, as if he was a little afraid of seeing him.
"This Xia Gui, was it possible that his uncle forced him to confess what he had done to him?"
Xia Zhen is Empress Dowager Yang's confidant and Shi Miyuan's confidant. Xia Zhen is an extremely important chess piece for both Shi Miyuan and Empress Dowager Yang.
Now that Zhao Yun was in contact with Xia Guixiayou, he naturally couldn't hide it from Empress Dowager Yang and Shi Miyuan, because their eyes and ears were everywhere.
Especially Empress Dowager Yang, who had been running the palace for many years and had already had extremely strong control over the palace. Zhao Yun had no doubt that Empress Dowager Yang knew all about the number of farts she farted while sleeping at night.
"I, Xia Gui, have met Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun nodded and did not ask whether he was forced by Xia Zhen. Instead, he still trusted him and said, "Xia Gui, how did the thing I asked you to do yesterday go?"
Xia Gui replied: "Reporting to your majesty, I have secretly selected ten people and asked them to pretend to be traders and pawns and roam around Lin'an City to find out the public opinion of the people. They left the palace last night. Please rest assured, your majesty. In the future, I will
We will select more people to serve His Majesty."
Zhao Yun nodded, still very satisfied with Xia Gui's ability to do things.
Execution ability is always the most direct and most effective way for a subordinate to prove his ability. In this regard, Xia Gui is indeed good, and he is worthy of being a person who has left his name in history.
"Very good. I'm very satisfied. Take your time. I'd rather the progress be slower than the progress steady."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun forced out a smile and said: "Now I can only give you some verbal encouragement. As for the rest, I can't give you anything at the moment. It makes you laugh."
Zhao Yun's self-deprecation made Xia Gui dare not answer the question.
Zhao Yun quickly shifted his focus to his own assassination. Zhao Yun said: "On that day, I was assassinated about half a quarter of an hour before going to court. At that time, there were people inside and outside Chui Gong Hall.
The person in front of your palace is on duty.
Please check for me who appeared in the area near where I was assassinated during that time period. No matter what identity the person is, as long as he appears during this time period, he is suspicious, so you should check it carefully for me."
Although Queen Mother Yang promised to let Zhao Yun investigate the case alone, she did not give time. If Zhao Yun did not have strong clues, Queen Mother Yang would have reason to withdraw her order at any time and no longer let Zhao Yun interfere with the matter.
So Zhao Yun's first priority now is to seize the time and involve all the people who can be involved. No matter who they are, get them involved first.
"Your Majesty, the Palace Front Office has investigated this matter before and identified several people who were nearby when His Majesty was assassinated.
But in the end, there was no evidence pointing to them, and because the people of both the government and the public were in panic these past few days, the Queen Mother and Mr. Shi did not delve deeper in order to reassure people."
The assassination of an emperor is a big deal, no matter which dynasty it is, or which emperor it is. Of course, the front office has already conducted an investigation.
Even if they can't catch the murderer, they still need to clean up the palace minister to avoid being implicated.
"Oh, who did you find? Tell me quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, our front office has found out that three people have appeared. They are from the Imperial College. They are Zhang Xian from the Xiaohuang Gate of the Xihuan Bureau, and Wang Zhenchun, the Jingyan Attendant. These three people have all appeared in the area where Your Majesty was assassinated.
.”
"Then why did they show up then?"
"The Taixue student said that he was sending books to the teacher. Zhang Xian of Xiaohuangmen said that a curtain in the Chui Gong Hall was worn out and he had forgotten to clean it. He was worried about punishment, so he went to get it specially. Wang Zhenchun, the attendant of the Sutra Banquet, said that he accidentally returned to the Lecture Hall.
Take a fork in the road.
We and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have questioned them one by one before, and found no evidence of treason. The three of them also had people testify that there was nothing unusual about them, and they left very quickly, so there should be no time to commit the crime."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun pondered for a while, went through the situation of the three people in his mind, and finally said: "Can you secretly find that Wang Zhenchun for me? I want to ask him personally."
Wang Zhenchun was the attendant of the Sutra Banquet, and he provided assistance to Zheng Qingzhi, the Sutra Banquet Attendant.
Jingyanshi's lectures were for the emperor and princes, which means that Zheng Qingzhi was Zhao Yun's teacher, that is, the emperor's teacher, and Wang Zhenchun was Zheng Qingzhi's assistant.
This inference can also involve Zheng Qingzhi in the assassination case. Zheng Qing was firstly the emperor's master, and secondly he was Shi Miyuan's ally. He had a close relationship with Shi Miyuan, which in turn involved Shi Miyuan.
Zheng Qingzhi was the emperor's master. Out of respect for his master, Zhao Yun could not go to Wang Zhenchun directly to avoid bad reputation and damage to Zhao Yun's image, so Zhao Yun could only interrogate him secretly.
"Yes, I can bring it to Your Majesty at any time when it is convenient for Your Majesty for your Majesty's secret interrogation."
Xia Gui is the chief minister in charge of the palace, Marquis Yu, and his uncle Xia Zhen is the commander of the chief minister in front of the palace. He is in charge of the guards of the entire palace. Catching people in the palace is not just a joke.
